Book Recommendations

[Miri Pomerantz]

What (Jewish interest) book are you reading now that you just love? Or have read recently?

[charlotte gordon]

I would love JEWISH readers to try my new book,The Woman Who Named God: Abraham's Dilemma and the Birth of Three F... (Little, Brown). The book is a non-fiction re-telling of the Abraham story with an emphasis on the role of the women. I worked hard to give the book an interfaith perspective and have been receiving emails from evangelical Christians lambasting me for not making the book CHRISTIAN enough. This is disheartening, to say the least!

I can understand that you might feel disheartened. But, in my opinion, that is their issue, not yours.

I read VALLEY OF STRENGTH, by Shulamit Lapid, about homesteading in pre-state Israel. Loved it! Great historical fiction.

I will read anything by Shulamit Lapid, that I can get my hands on.
